I'm new to this thread, but thought you all might enjoy this:
I was cleaning out files yesterday and ran across an old Money
magazine from 1985 with a big headline on the cover - "How You Will
Make Money in the Year 2000". Inside it listed these industries as the best
to invest in for Year 2000 gains: Child Care, Computer Systems, Fiber
Optics, Geriatric Care, Health Services, Homemaker Helpers, Semiconductors,
and Specialty Polymers (Plastics). Under the Fiber Optics heading,
they had this to say: Cellular telephones, now used by only
150,000 people, will be owned by 2.5 million by 2000. I just
heard on CNBC that there are almost 1/2 billion cell phones
in use today.
I don't get Money magazine, but I wonder what their projections
are for the next 15 yrs. Obviously, a lot of industries today weren't
even developed as of 15 yrs. ago. |
